great that the people of the area still call for justice. Yet,few know of it. That place is the area called by it's occupants the Vendee. That is the area immediately south of the Loire River in west central France.Here I translate a portion from the web site, Le génocide vendéen. If you have a queasy stomach do not read further. If you have a desire for truth...
An incident from the barbarities implemented by the Infernal columns, the tanning of human skins.
Piece no. 262 of the Extracts of the Deliberations and Depositions of Angers relating to the testimony of Claude John Humeau to the court of Angers August 26 1795: "That Pecquel surgeon to the 4th battalion of the Ardennes Regiment skinned 32 corpses, to carry to Lemonnier, tanner to the Ponts-Libres (now calledthe Ponts-de-Cé), to tan them, that the masters there refused, that he knows that the skins were deposited at the house Prud'homme, manchonnier (leather coupler?) of Angers" Godard Faultrier relates a conversation that he had with a shepherd named Robin that was 13to 14 years old and was witness of the committed horrors. Page 13, one reads in part: ...one cut the skin to the under belt, then alongside each of the thighs to the ankle of the feet in the such a manner that after the removal, the pants that are left are formed. It only remained to tan it and to sew it...”. There are still some who refuse to believe this happened, even after being presented with the evidence. In 1986 Reynald Secher wrote a book (which is advertised on the left) called the The French Genocide, The Vendee, he was immediately ridiculed by the elitists who justified the infernal columns as a necessary, the count of those murdered as being exaggerated and some saying Secher was having a fantasy. Some even proclaim that the genocide as quasi-mythical...
One thing is for sure, the Vendeans can not be accused of sending columns into France to murder the populace...
The best description of the genocide in the vendee has been written (in blood) by one of it's criminals, General François Joseph Westermann, "There is no more Vendée, Republican citizens. It died beneath our free sword, with its women and its children. I have just buried it in the swamps and the woods of Savenay. Following the orders that you gave to me, I crushed the children beneath the horses' hooves, massacred the women who, those at least, will bear no more brigands. I do not have a single prisoner to reproach myself with. I have exterminated them all..."[1]
Vive le Roy!
